The St Cuthbert’s Advantage
We understand that choosing the right school for your daughter is one of the most important decisions you will make as a family.
At St Cuthbert’s we know girls – we’ve been educating and growing amazing young women for over a century now and our heritage and values are renowned. So are our academic results, but here excellence isn’t just a grade, it’s about encouraging every girl to achieve her personal best. By choosing St Cuthbert’s you are giving your daughter an advantage she will carry through life.
School Life
From age five to 18, we recognise that personal success comes in different shapes and sizes.
Junior School
Years 0–6
At St Cuthbert’s we nurture your little ones through their most precious, formative years and foster a life-long love of learning. Your daughter’s Junior School years will be filled with fun and wonder as they begin to discover themselves and the world around them.
Senior School
Years 7–13
The journey through Senior School is one of the most important and exciting times of your daughter’s life. At St Cuthbert’s she will be noticed, inspired and supported so she leaves our care with self-confidence, life-long friendships and the tools for success.
Kahunui Life Skills Experience
Nothing equips girls for the future better than Kahunui – our exclusive outdoor education and life skills centre in the Bay of Plenty – offering a unique and transformative experience for all Year 10 girls.
